Reliability for UPS systems with UPS batteries
How can you significantly increase the service life of your UPS systems ? The best thing to do is to invest in high-quality UPS batteries or UPS batteries. This is often already half the battle for reliable and uninterrupted power in operation. UPS systems, UPS systems or uninterruptible power supplies ensure a continuous and at the same time trouble-free power supply for mission-critical or uninterrupted power supplies. sensitive applications. A reliable power supply can be essential for your data and applications in a wide variety of areas. For example, in the IT server room, data center, IT rooms, data centers or industry. Therefore, increase the reliability of your UPS systems with high-quality UPS batteries or UPS batteries. Batteries.
Increased UPS service life
The service life of the battery is of fundamental importance for the reliability and availability of a UPS system. Since lead-acid batteries are electrochemical power sources, it can be assumed that their battery power will decrease over time. Premature aging, however, also means higher costs in any case due to the service work involved and the overall shorter operating time. In addition, the UPS batteries may not be available at full power when needed, which can jeopardize the UPS’s uninterruptible power supply.
In normal UPS operation, the battery is only needed occasionally and its “wear rate” is highly dependent on how it is charged. Excessive charging is harmful to the consumer in any UPS operating mode. UPS systems manufacturer Eaton has therefore developed the ABM-Advanced Battery Management automatic battery management system. With sophisticated logic and an advanced battery charging process, the system optimizes the service life of valve-regulated lead-acid batteries. In contrast, with conventional trickle charging, the current that constantly flows through the battery, even in UPS standby mode, leads to corrosion phenomena on the electrodes and to drying out of the electrolyte. Eaton’s automatic battery management reliably ensures that the UPS battery is only charged when needed, which also significantly extends its lifespan. The range of functions also includes the optimisation of the battery recharge time, which is particularly advantageous in the event of successive power failures within a short period of time.
EPS specialises in UPS installation, UPS service and UPS maintenance and recommends a high-quality and suitable battery for your UPS installations. We recommend different manufacturer brands of UPS batteries. Depending on the UPS application, performance and UPS solution, we offer Sunlight batteries or Bären batteries (FIAMM).

SPb Batteries & AccuForce (Standby Applications):
VRLA SPB UPS batteries are designed to provide reliable power for stand-by applications that support critical loads.
- Sunlight Batteries SPG VRLA Flat Plate (12v):
SPG Batteries (Standby Applications)
VRLA SPG batteries are designed to provide reliable performance for stand-by applications in the event of frequent power outages or cyclic applications.
- Sunlight Batteries SPHR VRLA Flat Plate (12v):
SUNLIGHT SPHR is a maintenance-free, valve-regulated lead-acid battery specifically designed to provide uninterruptible power supply systems, UPS systems, with high output power for limited discharge times.
UPS Batteries Sunlight SPHR batteries can deliver up to 30% more power compared to traditional UPS series, or in other words, cover UPS consumers for a short period of time with 30% less cost. This increased available power is the result of an advanced product design that provides high performance for the most demanding UPS applications.
High performance spectrum
Due to their low internal resistance and high discharge efficiency, SPA batteries can be used in a wide range, both in cyclic and standby applications.
Maintenance-free UPS batteries
No distilled water needs to be refilled during the service life and the electrolyte cannot be checked. Gas in the form of hydrogen and oxygen, which is produced during charging or electrolysis, is 99% recombined into water and remains in the charging and discharging cycle.
Safety valve
In the event of overcharging or incorrect charging method, the gas can escape automatically via the safety system. At the same time, it protects against increased overpressure.
Separator Technology
Among other things, the AGM technology with the Absorbent Glass Mat separator is used in the Sunlight SPA batteries. This is an extremely porous material. It allows for maximum diffusion of oxygen and the chemical reaction of the active material in the lead plates. The separator creates an even distance between the positive and negative lead plates. In addition, the separator ensures that the electrolyte is evenly penetrated and protects against possible leakage. The Sunlight SPA batteries can be used in a wide range of temperatures. The optimal temperature is +20 C to +25 C.
Low battery self-discharge rate
The lead-calcium alloy reduces the self-discharge rate to a minimum. Under normal conditions, the battery can be stored at +20 C to +25 C for up to 9 months. The capacity and service life are maintained.
